Food Thread: Passover Edition [CBD]

This will be even more abbreviated than usual -- it seems that somebody sneaked into my bedroom a few nights ago and pumped several pounds of wet concrete into my sinuses, then used a blowtorch on the back of my throat. Impressively stealthy! It was probably Brian Williams tuning up his SEAL skills.

USS Astoria Seder.png

This photo is captioned as "Seder on the U.S.S. Astoria in the Pacific, 1945." But the Astoria was sunk in the Battle of Savo Island on August 9th, 1942, after taking at least 65 hits. So this is either dated incorrectly or it is another ship, but the name on the table covering seems definitive.

Update: Courtesy of commenter DBA, the third U.S.S. Astoria was a Cleveland class light cruiser that was renamed Astoria in honor of the heavy cruiser that was sunk at Savo Island.

It is from a nice article in Tablet about How American Troops Celebrated Passover During WWII, but be warned, it is a far-left site; do not click on any other links without appropriate protection.

********
Ben Israel cake.jpg

Israel's most famous pastry chef is the owner of Ron Ben Israel's Cakes, in NYC. He makes some incredible stuff. While I have no particular interest in pastry making other than admiration of the skill involved, he amuses me because some of the same people who are vilifying Indiana for being anti-gay are vilifying Israel for being a repressive, racist, apartheid state, even though people like Ben Israel (who is openly gay) walk openly anywhere in Israel and nobody gives a shit, but would be stoned to death or pushed off buildings in much of the Arab world (I didn't say it made much sense...I said it amused me).
********

While poking around that site, I found this recipe for Chicken Thighs With a Crunchy Almond Crust. I think that Panko bread crumbs will work better, but it's a pretty simple recipe that can stand a lot of modification without going completely off the rails. Valu-Rite instead of the eggs might be pushing it, but.....
********

This guy makes the extremely valuable point that a steel will not sharpen your knives...it's just for tuning up between sharpenings, which should happen on a whetstone. In a pinch I have used the bottom of a ceramic plate, and even once or twice a rock. But there is nothing like a good quality stone and somebody who knows how to use it. Well...."this might be better," (possibly NSFW) but you get my point.
********

And because Passover starts on Friday, what better recipe than a leavened, gentile breakfast food.

ENGLISH CRUMPETS

Ingredients:
3 T. warm water
1 pkg. yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 C. milk
4 T. butter, divided
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. flour
1 egg

Directions:

Combine water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Heat milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter and salt in a saucepan over low heat just until warm. Add to yeast mixture. Add 1 cup flour to yeast mixture and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Beat in egg. Add remaining flour and beat until smooth. Cover batter with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Stir down batter and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a saucepan over low heat. Skim off foam and discard milky solids from bottom of saucepan. Brush bottom of a skillet with melted butter. Brush insides of four crumpet rings or 3-inch round cookie cutters with butter and place rings in skillet. Heat skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter into each ring. Cook until batter begins to bubble on top and is lightly browned on bottom, about 2 minutes. Remove rings. Turn English Crumpets over. Cook until lightly browned on bottom and done in centers. Can be served warm or split and toasted before serving.

Where was Amanda Knox at that time, is what I'd lik to know. I told you all that it was a mistake not to ship her back to Italy, but you wouldn't listen. And now people are getting shot in the face. Nice work morons. She is pretty fapping hot, though.

84 Ben and Jerry's makes a kosher-for-Passover Charoset ice cream (vanilla filled with fruit chunks and nuts). I think only in Israel, but I see all kinds of other gray-market import foods in the states, so perhaps this.

Also: If you're not fond of corn-syrup sweetened soda, I'm seeing real-sugar Coke and Coke products in my supermarket for Passover. The yellow bottle caps are printed with a KP symbol. Personally, I think the high-fructose panic is nonsense, but I like the taste of sugar better. Looks like Pepsi is selling its real-sugar throwback products year-round these days.

Actually, B and J has been owned by multinational food conglomerate Unilever for 15 years. The two founders have NOTHING to do with the brand anymore. So all their ecologically sound, socially aware practices are in fact, cynical pandering to an ignorant audience of hypocritical hippie douchebags in order to generate obscene, socially irresponsible profits in pursuit of evil capitalist ends.

Now, if they could just do something about upper management. They suck. We coulda got the Zen Master Phil Jackson down here a while back. He said he wanted to build a team around DH. So naturally, that never happened.

From the Yankee Cookbook

2Qt dandelion blossoms (no stems)
3 oranges, sliced
3 lemons, sliced
1 yeast cake (or wine or champagne yeast if you brew)
5 lbs sugar
4 Qt water

Pour 4 quarts boiling water over the blossoms and let stand 3 duas
Stir each day
At the end of the third day strain.
Then:
Add the sliced oranges and lemons, rind and all, one yeast cake and five pounds of sugar.
Let stand 3 days
Stir each day
At the end of the third day strain.
Let stand in a crock 4 weeks in not too cold of a place
Strain, bottle and cap

I'm kind of half expecting Israel to do something pretty quick.

191 Yesterday's enemy meme of the day was Germenwings co-pilot

Consider the source "The Telegraph reports that records published by the German newspaper Bild reveal Captain Patrick Sonderheimer screaming at Lubitz to open the cockpit door before taking an axe to it in a last-ditch attempt to stop the plane from crashing into a French mountainside that would kill everyone on board."

Likely truth? He dumped depression suffering GF who is on a rampage of lying. the prescription drugs are hers. Real cause of crash? High speed/high altitude compressor stall caused by wind shear and vortex shedding from mountains.

Have you heard the audio tape or just been fed a partial transcript? What do the POLICE say? What does Lufthansa say?

Enquiring minds....

Today.. The Lost highway on The Belmont Club.

Never let a crisis go to waste. If one does not exist, fake it! "...negotiations reached a fevered pitch.."

Basically, there are five grains that are 'verboten' for Passover: wheat, barley, rye, spelt oand oats.

Corn isn't mentioned, and since it's indigenous to North America, many Jews don't recognize it as "chametz." It falls in a gray area called "kitnyot," so some Jews avoid it, some don't.

I'm on Team Don't, but we don't serve it at our Seders for reasons mentioned above.

267 Dissipating thread, but I just finished eating some corned beef brisket I smoked on the pellet grill for a few hours. I guess it's pastrami at that point. Anyway, it turned out very tasty, and I think this'll be the way we do corned beef from now on when I have the time. When there's less time, I pressure cook it.
